86_86638 It's useless to think too much about the national team game, and Gao Shunyao doesn't worry anymore. He contacted his agent Takashi Sato and asked him to help him ask if he could help him contact the Chinese Football Association, and Sato agreed, saying that he would go all out.

His agent, although he doesn't get much money, he really works hard when he works - he praised him a few words, and Gao Shunyao put this matter aside.

It's important for him to worry about the games now: especially the next games, which can't be sloppy in any way: unlike the 34 games in the league, the cup games can be decided in one or two games.

After the group stage, the quarter-finals of the League Cup have finally arrived. Tokyo Shun Lì reached the quarterfinals. The League Cup quarter-finals are decided by draw, while the tournament is decided over two legs before the final, and if it goes its way, they could lift the trophy after five games.

Tokyo were lucky, finishing second in their group, but in the draw, they were lucky to draw Yokohama Marinos, who finished second in the other group, rather than facing a stronger AFC Champions League-level team. Compared to Kashima and Gambah, Yokohama is of course an easier opponent to deal with, and there is only one Korean foreign player in the entire team, making their strength quite average. This opponent also made Cheng Fuhao confident, and wanted to try to see if he could stand out in the cup - the Tokyo club has been established for more than ten years, and the championship has never been won, if Cheng Fuhao can win a championship for Tokyo, then his head coach position will be very stable.

In this game, Tokyo replaced almost the main squad for the League Cup, and it has reached the knockout stage, and they have to fight it out.

The first game of the game was played at Ajinomoto Stadium, the home stadium of Tokyo, and Tokyo also played quite fluidly, scoring in less than 20 minutes.

The scorer was Yohei Kajiyama, one of Tokyo's main midfielders: Shortly after the opening, Tokyo's wide player Naoto Hanyu was blocked by a Yokohama Mariners player after picking up the ball on the side, and was surrounded by two people. In the confusion, he kicked the ball to the feet of Hideto Takahashi next to him, and Hideto Takahashi directly chose a long pass and sent the ball to Gao Shunyao on the edge of the penalty area.

Yokohama's defenders looked at Gao Shunyao very hard, and after Gao Shunyao received the ball, he almost didn't even have room to turn around. However, he still did not let go of this opportunity. He passed the ball to the top of the arc of the penalty area, so that the plugged in Kajiyama Yohei received the football, and then, he turned around and ran towards the right post, and at the same time Kabore was also very good at running to the left, the running of the two made Yokohama's back line a hole, Kajiyama Yohei seized the hole, a long shot, and successfully scored.

There was a goal early in the game, which was a better situation. After that, Tokyo's offensive became more and more fierce. Just before the end of the first half, when Gao Shunyao broke through with the ball in the penalty area, he was directly pulled down by a rough pull from his opponent and won a penalty for Tokyo. Naohiro Ishikawa scored the penalty to give Tokyo a 2-0 lead before half-time.

Unfortunately, they didn't manage to maintain that advantage until the end: in the second half, Yokohama Mariners replaced their main striker Chima Watanabe with their Dutch-born high school striker Haffner. Relying on the continuous creation of corners, and then relying on Haffner's height of 1.94 meters to carry out air raids, Yokohama Mariner still scored a goal before the end of the game to bring the score back to 2-1.

A goal is nothing, but with this goal, it is impossible for Tokyo to defeat the Yokohama Mariners with this one game. The next match was played at Nissan Stadium in Yokohama, and the one-goal advantage was not enough.

Regardless, winning over the Yokohama Mariners was something to be proud of. It was a win anyway, at least this one was much better than the game two days later in which FC Tokyo were held to a draw again in the league at the weekend.

Obviously, Tokyo are still not well adapted to the rhythm of two games a week, and after playing in midweek, they have not been able to win at the weekend. What is frustrating is that they were drawn by the Niigata Swans, who defeated them 4-1 at the beginning of the league.

The level of performance of the Niigata Swans team this season is really beyond everyone's expectations. At the start of the season, no one thought they would be a serious contender in the league, but now, they are still tied with FC Tokyo, and even narrowly beat Tokyo on goal difference. At the beginning of the season, they relied on their own attack to give Tokyo FC a 1-4 to concede the most points of the season, and this time, they relied on their own defense to firmly defend in front of Tokyo for 90 minutes. Niigata Swans did not make it to the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup, and their body is much better than Tokyo. In this competition, they relied on their own physical advantage to hold on to the situation and let Tokyo return in vain.

The draw is definitely not good news for Tokyo, who are catching up with the points, and what is even more depressing is that after winning this game, soon, in the next game against Urawa Ruby, Tokyo finally ushered in the first league defeat since Gao Shunyao became the main player.

As at the beginning of the season, Tokyo FC had no advantage against the attacking Urawa Ruby. In this game, even Gao Shunyao encountered rare restrictions. During the game, Urawa Ruby guarded him very well, which made Gao Shunyao's performance unprecedentedly abnormal.

Urawa Ruby's player, known as Japan's best midfielder, Hosobei Moe was entangled with him for almost the entire game. This player's physical confrontation ability is quite good, he is also diligent in running, and when he defends, he is even more aggressive, relying on the identity of an international player, and the whistle is also very lenient to him, which makes him cause a lot of trouble for Gao Shunyao.

And what makes Gao Shunyao even more depressed is that Urawa Ruby's excellent defensive player is not just a thin shell moe. Although the fine Bei Meng is in good health, but the kicking is a little rough, Gao Shunyao is in the state of no ball, and has also hit the fine Bei Meng who is not good at controlling the ball several times, and even once really grabbed the ball, wanting to impact the Urawa backline. It's a pity that Tanaka Doukasa on the Urawa defense line also played well, and he didn't give Gao Shunyao any chance at the back. Whether Gao Shunyao wanted to eat by himself or wanted to support his teammates, he was resolved one by one by Tanaka Doukasa King.

Tanaka Doukasa King, a veteran international defender, is still much stronger than Maya Yoshida. With the support of Xibei Meng, Gao Shunyao was almost completely unable to fight him.

The existence of these two people made Gao Shunyao finally play abnormally in this game. Japan's No. 1 midfielder and Japan's No. 1 defender are two people to deal with him, and Gao Shunyao still has no choice.

Without Gao Shunyao's support, in the game, Kabore was not able to play as well as he should. Tokyo's entire offensive line was in shambles, and not a single goal could be scored.

On the other hand, Urawa's three masters, Edmilson and others are all Japan's top internationals and foreign players, and they will not show mercy when facing Tokyo. Although Yasuyuki Konno almost did his best, a small negligence still gave them a chance and scored the winning goal.

In the 19th round, Tokyo lost their sixth league game.

For Tokyo, two consecutive games without a win are indeed frustrating enough, and the more depressing is still to come: in the next game, Tokyo needs to face Yokohama Mariner on the 29th, play the second round of the League Cup, and then face the Kyoto Immortals on the following August 1.

Playing continuously is not an easy thing for any team, especially when Tokyo was fighting in a row, it was just forced to a draw, and it is very worrying whether this game can be won.

What makes people quite amusing is that at the beginning of the season, Tokyo faced these three teams without a win in three consecutive rounds, and at this point, it would be interesting if they went three games without a win.

Because of the poor play at the beginning of the season, Tokyo deposed Hirayama Sota. But now it seems that Tokyo has replaced Gao Shunyao, and when they face these teams again, it seems that they don't have many numbers. Of course, they were slaughtered at the beginning of the season, but when they were slaughtered, they still scored, and they didn't even score in the two games in which Gao Shunyao was a striker, although they got one more draw, but who knows what will happen in the next game against Kyoto Immortals? If he loses again, then Gao Shunyao's excellent performance some time ago, is the level also a little watery?

In this way, the media did not say it explicitly, but in the words, they also questioned it a little: although Gao Shunyao said that he scored a goal against Nagoya Whales, but after that, his goal efficiency was still not high, and the striker with low goal efficiency could also have some confidence when the media questioned it.

"Perhaps, Coach Cheng Fuhao should let go of his prejudices. Proper rotation is necessary for the team when needed. If he considers taking Gao Shunyao in the League Cup match and replacing him with Hirayama Sota to survive this game, then, in the match against Kyoto Immortals, Gao Shunyao can retain enough body. This rotation is a better way for Tokyo, and it is also the way to choose. ”

Some media, at this time built yì Tokyo used Hirayama to survive this game. After all, even if you lose the League Cup, it's not a big deal, compared to the league to grab points and reach the goal of the AFC Champions League, the League Cup is nothing.

But this Jianyì, Gao Shunyao knows very well that Cheng Fuhao will not use it: Gao Shunyao has just played abnormally in the game against Urawa Ruby, what he needs most now is enough encouragement and support, and if he is replaced at this time, it is very likely that Gao Shunyao will not be psychologically strong enough and increase psychological pressure on him, and this kind of thing, Cheng Fuhao will not do.

'The coach will definitely trust me and keep starting me. Whether it's against Yokohama or Kyoto, it's definitely me who starts. In private, he talked to his girlfriend about the coach's trust in him, and Gao Shunyao was also extremely proud, "Believe me, I can also play well." Playing continuously is the best test for a player and I can handle it. Moreover, the game time is just right, and the match with Kyoto is August 1st, which does not allow me to play badly in Japan! ”。
